Juan Sebastian Veron
One of the most gifted midfielders of the 90s, Veron grabbed everyone’s attention at Sampdoria, but really stood out on his own in this Parma side. It wasn’t too long after this UEFA Cup final that Lazio snapped him up and he eventually made his way to Manchester United, Chelsea and the back to Italy – this time with Inter.
Despite being widely seen by many in England as one of the worst signings in Premier League history, Veron will be remembered as one of the best Argentine midfielders in modern times. He has recently come out of retirement to play for Estudiantes, but it doesn’t look like a full-time deal.
Paolo Vanoli
A relative journeyman in Italian football, Vanoli was a steady player for multiple teams across the divisions, playing for five sides including Venezia and Verona before finding his home in Parma, albeit it for two years.
When Vanoli moved on from Parma in 2000, he spent time with Fiorentina, Bologna and most notably with Rangers between 2003 and 2004. He has kept a low profile since his retirement and was last seen playing in Greece with lower division side Akratitos FC. In terms of coaching, Paolo Vanoli was in charge of the Italian Under-19 squad and is regarded as a very good coach for youth.
